Barry Keoghan has been confirmed to star alongside Cillian Murphy and Rebecca Ferguson in the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie, which is set to begin production later this year and will take place during World War II. Netflix announced the casting, highlighting Keoghan's recent rise to fame with performances in acclaimed films like The Banshees of Inisherin and Saltburn. Murphy will reprise his iconic role as Tommy Shelby, with the film being described as an 'explosive chapter' in the Peaky Blinders story by creator Steven Knight. While specific details about Keoghan's character remain undisclosed, the film aims to satisfy fans of the original series, which aired for six seasons from 2013 to 2022. This project follows Netflix's greenlight announcement in June, shortly after Murphy's Oscar win for Oppenheimer. The film is highly anticipated, with its release expected next year.
